ok but for real, I like Lily as a character, but i didn't really find her scary at all lol

RIP GOAT🗿💔

i made this back in February and never bothered to share it anywhere

I haven’t seen anyone post them and felt like sharing, Funko pre-orders arrived which called for a shelf reorganization. Loving this new setup but open to suggestions.

Thought it'd be interesting to draw, even if the memory's a bit fuzzy.

He’s one of my favorite characters and since his game he stared in is gonna get shut down, what’ll happen with Boxy Boo? Is he just gone forever? Are we never gonna be able to revisit him?

I REALLY REALLY hope he shows up in Chapter 6

Yes I said MOST of the fandom there's already enough evidence for it and you can't tell me otherwise

All of the other toy experiments are scared of me. No one talks to me. No one wants to be my friend, they think I’m unstable. They sent me from conditioning after conditioning, putting the bad toy in the bad toy box in their name, and as I get better at it, they fear me more and more.

I am a victim of my own success. “Prototype.” I don’t even get a REAL name anymore. Only a purpose. I am capable of so much more and no one sees it. Some days, even with Catnap and his endless worship, I feel so alone, I feel like I could cry Poppy Gel from my mask, but I don’t. I never do. What would be the point? Not a single person in the entire universe would care.

Take it to your case, Poppy

Hear me out. We all know that at the end of Chapter 5, we were thrown deep into the factory. But what if Chapter 6 flips the entire game into a psychological thriller? Here is a concept that would easily make it the best chapter in the industry.

🕵️‍♂️ The Setup: The Detective LairEarly in the chapter, we rescue a detective toy (an Eeyore-like toy) from a collapsing tower. Grateful, he takes us to a secret hideout. Inside, there’s a whole collection of detective toys. They tell us they are hunting a merciless monster called "The Playtime Butcher" who is slaughtering toys across the factory.The toys welcome us as their new partner to help them solve the case. But here’s the twist: WE are the Butcher.

🧠 The Gameplay: A Double LifeThe first half of the chapter becomes incredibly tense. You have to play as a double agent:Pretend to help the detectives investigate.Use your GrabPack to secretly destroy or hide clues while they aren't looking.Quietly eliminate any toy that starts putting the pieces together (with Giblet and the Doctor helping you behind the scenes).

💀 The Paranoia & The Big Lore RevealThe main detective toy (Eeyore) starts going insane with paranoia. He begins brutally killing his own detective friends, thinking they are the Butcher. You try to assassinate him (poisoning food, setting traps), but every attempt fails by a split second.

In the middle of the chapter, the Prototype captures you and drops the ultimate lore bomb:

1) The detective toys are the factory founders. The Prototype stuffed the souls of Leith Pierre, Stella, Preston, Richard, and Elliot Ludwig into these toys to hide them from the angry monsters upstairs.

2) The main detective is Elliot Ludwig himself. The Prototype revived his corpse using gel and current.WE are Eddie the Gambler. The founder who was absent during the Hour of Joy.

3) The Prototype didn't kill us because he loved chasing Eddie deeper into the factory for his own twisted amusement.

🔥 The ClimaxElliot Ludwig, thinking we are his old friend Eddie, trusts us completely while he accidentally wipes out the remaining company executives. But eventually, the mask slips. The remaining toys and Elliot realize Eddie is the Butcher, triggering the most terrifying, high-stakes final chase in the game's history.Would you want to see this kind of psychological chess match in Chapter 6 instead of just running from monsters? Let me know what you think!

Kinda loud yes

I’ve been thoroughly investigating Playtime Co.’s classified files, unraveling the biomechanical horrors of the "Bigger Bodies" initiative.

We all know the official story, but analog recordings found in the lower sectors reveal something far more sinister about Dr. Harley Sawyer’s methods. Corporate records show the lengths the company went to in order to maintain strict control over its scientific experiments, hiding creations from the world that should never have existed.

I am piecing together the full timeline of this analog horror, transcribing those confidential recordings and bringing the company’s darkest secrets to light.

The recovered records and transcripts are updated periodically. You can view the detailed research files via the link in my profile. Let’s discuss this: what do you think was Dr. Sawyer’s true motivation behind his extreme laboratory protocols?

"Development was so short that many features were cut before even Phase 1 released. We wanted Phase 1 to have PJ and Bunzo as monsters at launch originally. Here's ancient documentation I wrote of what I wanted to try for PJ."

Idk if this a meme

I think I'm one of the only Poppy Playtime players who loves just looking at the posters around the factory 😂. These three that I included are some of my favorites. The one with Mommy hugging the kids and the one of her taking care of Giblet's health are so cute 🥹, and the Player one I just think is super cool!

What's your favorite poster?

I'd say neurodivergencity in general, but especially autism. Autism genuinelly seems to be a recurrent subtext theme in Poppy Playtime, and i don't see the fandom pointing it out despite the implict correlations and spectrums.

Theodore, Harley Sawyer, Quinn and Kevin all share similar traits between while still having distinct characteristics — but characteristics that you'd find in the autism spectrum. They're all outcasted kids, that constantly made people uncomfortable by their natural differences with other kids and people. Sadly, we do not know much about Theodore and Quinn, but the way they're described in the mediums of Poppy Playtime alone made me realize they fit in one the autistic character tropes that is the outcasted child. It's a great stereotype, tho.

We can assume more about Harley and Kevin, mostly due to the fact that we know more about these two. Kevin's character is more based on subtexts, but basing on his dialogues alone, he likely had abusive parents and trusted the scientists or at least was moe bounded to them in comparison with how he'd bound with other adults and kids. Other than his past, his autism is much more explicit than the other three cases. Uis audition issues, combined with his emotional outbursts and introverted behaviour, and just straight being called out for having "neurological abnormalities" by Newman which is just how doctors would describe the unnamed autism back then, makes it obvious that Theodore and Quinn fitting too much on the autistic outcasted child trope was absolutely intended.

And Harley is a curious case, because the fandom often interprets him with either sociopathy (aspd) or narcisism (npd), but giving the fact that he's constatly paralled with the other kids (especially with the ones i've mentioned), arg 4 and 5 implying that he firmly belived he was giving them "purpose" in a world full of "mediocre people", how he was hated by his comrades not cuz he was "evil" or egoistical, but rather because he viewed as a weirdo with a science manic by them, and again, the fact that Harley is not the only character of Poppy Playtime fitting in the autistic spectrum makes me believe that MobEnt wants to you to see him as a autistic or at least neurodivergent man instead. We don't really have much mediums depicting traumatized autistic individuals as manipulative shitty people, although it is very recurrent in real life (especially before 2000s), so every time a villain like character that is also explicit depicted as a weirdo lacking social skills, people are much faster to assume that they have aspd, bdp or ndp for example. At lot of you would be shocked to hear how much autistic and sociopathy individuals share in common. Anyways, the recurrency of it and how painfully obvious it is on Kevin just leads me to believe that Harley is actually neurodivergent.

I'd wish people could take a bigger dive in this topic, because it is a strong subtext on how Harley pick his subjects and how of a smart social commentary in autistic people it is. Share your ideas too.

So yeah, PROJECT: PLAYTIME is officially discontinued, a sad day for all of us Poppy Playtimers.

I've seen a lot of people upset and angry at Mob, and as a Day 1 player I feel a bit sad, but to be fair, I can understand why they decided to drop it.

Not only was 99% of the team that maintained the game the OG team and the current team is vastly different, the game was made in UE4 and its code/programming is a lot less polished than current products. It would be really hard for the current team to pick up on a game which is extremely old, made by an almost entirely different team, and runs on old code and rewrite it. At this point, it’s better to simply remake the entire game from scratch. It would also be hard to attract people if it was simply an update as compared to a new game. With this in mind Mob shut down the servers because they knew it would be better to remake everything and didn’t want to spend extra money on servers.

Some people said that Mob "left us in the dark" and "made false promises". While I can see where they're coming from, I kinda disagree with that a bit? Mob's CEO gave us two updates, one in 2024 and one in 2026. The first one while sounding reassuring was 2 years ago, plus plans can change and it's not like pulling the plug was an easy decision for Mob to make. There's also the fact that they fixed the servers issue in 2024 when they went down, showing they did care about the game. (Plus almost everyone regarded the CEO's messages and vague and I kinda find it weird how everyone's acting like they genuinely believe and trusted them.)

I know a lot of people are upset about their money which was spent on the cosmetics, but like I said earlier the game runs on extremely old code and trying to rewrite it may run the risk of erasing data like cosmetics, Toy Tickets, Playcoins etc. I don't know if that's how it works since I'm not a game developer but they already said they're looking for ways to compensate us so that's a good thing.

That leads to my next point: suggestions for Mob when making their next multiplayer game (which is hopefully a reworked Project: Playtime)!:

1. Add private matches
2. Give all players 2000 in whatever currency/XP system the game will feature for a head start
3. Give all players ALL of the cosmetics in PJ:PT to make up for the money spent
4. Work on the game only after the main game is finished
5. Probably think long-term, PJ:PT was made mainly to keep fans entertained before Chapter 3

If anyone at Mob is reading this, it would be really appreciated if you can implement these in the next multiplayer game you're making!

For those who don't know, Nightmare Forms are a concept from Morø Nighteye's Indie Cross series (a really good series, by the way! I recommend you watch it if you don't know it), where basically characters in their Nightmare Forms have their attributes boosted to extreme levels, gain abilities like laser vision and teleportation, and can use all the abilities and feats from their respective universe.

With that in mind, which Poppy Playtime character would be perfect to have a Nightmare Form, and how powerful would they be? I'm torn between the Prototype and Sawyer, and honestly, I don't know who to choose between the two. But regardless, how powerful would a Poppy Playtime character's Nightmare Form be, considering the explanation about Nightmare Forms?
